Chapter 18: The Way of Senior Brother

Millions of miles away from the green mountain pass, here is already inaccessible, the mountains are undulating, these endless mountains are generally dark green color, the vegetation is thick, the leaf stem is thick and fat and broad, the heavy dark green color seems to be able to drip thick sap from the leaves; the towering giant trees are tall and stout, most of the trees are dozens of zhang high, there are five or six adults hugging each other, standing up to the sky, if you stand on the top of a higher mountain peak and look at it, the canopy covers the sky and the sun, layer upon layer, boundless and endless.

Here, demon beasts are everywhere, there are countless low-level demon beasts, and occasionally there are high-level demon beasts in the meantime.

But in such a vast mountain forest, there is a land of thousands of hectares of mountains and forests, and few demon beasts set foot in this area, as if they are very afraid of something.

In this area, there are also steep peaks, primeval forests are all over, at this time, the top of one of the towering peaks here is actually Qionglou Yuyu, pavilions and pavilions stand in a forest, small bridges and flowing water moored out, and spirit birds fly in the meantime.

This mountain, from the peak of the half waist above the beginning of the scattered to the mountain to establish a variety of pavilions, gardens, bamboo forests, trails, above the mountainside above the long year clouds and mist, hovering between these pavilions, bamboo forests, paths, as if stretching out your hand can pinch the wind and clouds.

At the top of the mountain peak is a huge platform, the area is amazing, about tens of thousands of zhang, the paving stones on the platform are all polished with smooth rock, standing on it, there is no end in sight, and there is a grand palace built on the hundreds of steps behind the platform, the palace has gone deep into the sea of clouds since the eaves are above, but I don't know how deep this palace is.

At this time, in the palace, there are two people talking, one sits on the huge chair in the middle of the palace, the back and armrest of this chair are densely carved with many unknown beasts of all sizes, these beasts are hideous, or vicious, or gloomy, all of them glow with a cold glow, vivid, like living creatures.

The person sitting on the top has three strands of long hair, looks like he is about thirty years old, his face is as white as jade, his eyes are a little narrow, he wears a scribe's crown, a green shirt and robe, and his body is slender, giving people a feeling of Confucianism with deep cultivation. The other sat near him in a row of chairs to the left of his head, an old man, about sixty years old, dressed in a black-and-green robe, somewhat thin, with a face like a falcon, his eyes were cold and shining, and his ten fingers were withered, but he was holding on to the armrests of the chair like eagle's talons.

The two of them sat in the grand exhibition hall, looking extremely small, as if two ants were in a huge palace.

"Peak Master, the Qing Harrier Falcon who was released by the law enforcement disciples outside the subordinates brought a message, and found a pile of dry bones on the periphery of a suspected monk site hundreds of thousands of miles away from here. The old man said to the middle-aged Confucian scholar, but his face was full of hatred, and his eyes were even more fierce.

"Oh, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the monk's ruins, even if it is a thousand miles of transmission notes, it can't be used, think that even with the physique of that blue harrier falcon second-level demon beast, it has been flying for at least dozens of days, and the law enforcement disciples can find the things stolen by the defecting disciples?"

"No, only the damaged storage bag was found next to the dry bones, but other things ......," the old falcon replied, shaking his head at the end.

"This matter has made Benfeng lose a lot of face in front of the other four peaks, although what that person took away was only the introductory exercises of Benfeng, but this is only cultivated by the disciples recruited by my faction, and the introductory forging chapter cannot be practiced by the disciples of my faction, especially the basic forging formula recorded in it, which can only be known by the disciples of my faction, otherwise this entry-level exercise can only be known by the disciples of my faction. Confucius frowned and said.

After thinking about it, his slender fingers tapped a few times on his thighs, and then said, "In this way, you can send some law enforcement disciples from this peak over to expand the scope of search, you can start from the medicine shop, regardless of whether it is a mortal medicine shop or a monk's market, check it all, as long as someone takes away the introductory exercises, it is possible to cultivate, I don't want to have a non-self condensation stage disciple in the outside world in the future." Confucian said.

"Yes, Peak Master, his subordinates also think the same way, if they find that someone has cultivated, then according to the rules of our Law Enforcement Hall, after extermination, they will use their soul to raise the soul entanglement filament, so that he will be in a dilemma of life and death, and then summon other sects to set an example. The old man said with a fierce light.

Outside the city of Qingshan Pass, in the valley, Li Yan, with the assistance of the third division, practiced diligently every day, and the time was spent in such repetition. Li Yan also gradually felt that with the progress of his cultivation, the teacher's qin sound was gradually unable to suppress the heat in his body, especially in the last two days, he had basically completed his cultivation in a half-awake and half-confused state, he knew that this was because the qin sound had begun to lose its effect on him, but for him, tomorrow would not exist, because tomorrow would already be the forty-ninth day.

In the early morning, when the sky was still bright, Li Yan pushed the door and walked out, and then scattered in the valley, he could be disturbed by the irritability in his chest in recent days, and he was also going to cultivate in the waterhole today, so he simply walked in the valley and breathed the fresh air of this autumn morning, which could relieve some of the irritability in his chest. And so, after about half an hour, he returned to his room, where a woman had brought breakfast, and after a few simple bites, he had no taste, and sat cross-legged in the room.

After a short time, there were a few knocks on the door outside the house, Li Yan opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and the door was opened, but it was Chen An and Li Yin, who saluted him respectfully, and Chen An said, "Childe, my lord asked my subordinates to place the copper furnace on the edge of the pool." ”

"That's a problem for both of you. Li Yan nodded to him and said, since entering the valley, Li Yan has had very little contact with other people, basically the woman who delivered the meal and these two, these people are usually very respectful to him, he was not used to it at first, but after a long time, he slowly got used to these etiquettes.

After the two of them carried the copper furnace out, Li Yan also walked out of the room with them, and soon Chen An and Li Yin placed the copper furnace not far from the waterhole, and the two pushed the copper furnace back and forth, and after confirming that it was stable, they turned around and walked towards the second training room of the third division.

Li Yan stood in front of his room, and did not talk to the two, but just looked at the copper furnace at the waterhole in a daze, somehow, looking at the copper furnace and the waterhole, he suddenly remembered that senior brother who had never met, if he remembered correctly, that senior brother seemed to have died violently after entering the valley for more than a month. The words "more than a month" kept flashing back in his mind, "seven seven and forty-nine days", and it was less than two months, whether it was just a coincidence, he fell into deep thought.

"Childe, Childe, the Lord called you!" A few calls interrupted his contemplation, he looked up and saw that Li Yinzheng was walking towards him, calling softly to him as he walked, and in the distance, the third division was already standing by the waterhole, and the copper basin that was already very familiar had been placed on the copper furnace.

I don't know how long I've been thinking about it here, Li Yan shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to get rid of those thoughts that came to him, and then settled down and walked over there. Seeing this, Chen An and Li Yin quietly withdrew from the valley.

Ji Junshi was dressed in a wide black robe, standing not far from the copper furnace with his hands behind his back, looking at the copper basin in a daze, as if talking to himself, and as if saying to Li Yan, "It's the last day, it's the last day, can you make it?"

Although the words were very light, in this quiet valley, Li Yan heard very clearly, and his heart was even more uneasy, but thinking that the matter had come to this, he didn't say anything more, and walked to the copper furnace in a few steps.

Today, the mist above the copper basin is no longer the azure black gas of the previous days, but a pure black mist, rich and substantial, constantly churning and surging. Li Yan looked at the copper basin, the pot was already surging with juice, the juice was like boiling ink, and the herbs in it could not be seen clearly, only the gurgling black bubbles continued to bulge and burst, rising up bursts of black gas, and then melted upwards into the surging pure black mist, making it more dense, and then there were countless small black bubbles in the copper basin pouring out, and then forming a large black bubble bulging and exploding, and a burst of smoke was raised, and the cycle continued, obviously this medicinal power was strengthened many times compared with the previous period of time.

Li Yan took a deep breath, stood up, and stretched his hands into the rich black gas that gathered and did not disperse, and suddenly a huge force surged towards his hands compared to the previous ones, and the same ten black gases drilled into his fingers, but these ten black gases were by no means like filaments before, but several times thicker, and the rich shape was like a substance, like ten iron rods inserted into his fingers fiercely, Li Yan felt a pain in his fingers that hurt into the bone marrow like a surging wave hit, he trembled, clenched his teeth, and snorted continuously, but the surging pain spread along his fingers, Singing all the way along his arm began to attack every part of his body, if it weren't for the previous dozens of days of cultivation, it is estimated that at this moment, he would have fainted to death in pain.

Ji Junshi stood aside and looked at Li Yan like this, his face was expressionless, only occasionally his eyebrows moved a few times, revealing his inner unpeace, and he stared at Li Yan motionlessly.

Time passed little by little, and after about the time of the second tea, Li Yan was already shriveling, and in the continuous muffled sound, he had slowly retreated several steps backwards and retreated to the edge of the pool. At this moment, Li Yan no longer had any thoughts in his mind, and even the thinking of running the exercises had been lost, but the heavy black qi seemed to no longer need the guidance of the exercises, and had been forcibly poured into it by itself, and then traveled around the meridians in his body, at this time his skin was already blackened, his face was distorted and swollen, and black qi appeared on his face, which was extremely terrifying.

Li Yanjue's body was full of breath, and his body was about to explode, feeling that countless stinging air currents had burned his internal organs to ashes.

He barely kept a trace of clarity, turned his head to look at the third division, and said with difficulty, "Old.... Old.... Old.... Teacher, disciple .... The disciple ...... the following words could no longer be spoken, and there were bursts of aura in his body, which made him feel a lot of pain.

The third division still stood motionless, expressionless.

Li Yan's eyes gradually blurred, his body was shaky, and after a few breaths, he fell backwards on his back and fell into the waterhole behind him, but the ten thick black gases were still firmly pulled on his fingers, and after his body fell into the waterhole and sank, he hovered and swallowed on the water, like a live python.

After Li Yan fell into the water, a chill came to his head, and then the chill on his body also increased greatly, Li Yan was a little more sober, at this time he was in front of him with sparkling pool water, looking up through the water, he could vaguely see the somewhat distorted but motionless figure on the shore that was refracted by the water surface.

Li Yan was still sinking towards the pool, even if his mouth began to choke on the cold pool water, he couldn't stop the stinging hot air flow in his body, and his consciousness became more and more blurred in his mind, and when he finally left a trace of clarity, he smiled bitterly, "This is the road that senior brother has walked." ”
